fMRI studies of social behaviors in which the striatum is active. Peak activation coordinates in the striatum of the fMRI studies cited in this review color-coded for each section as illustrated in the legend. Studies using a region of interest analysis strategy were not included in this image. These striatal responses are compatible with a general activation in response to social behaviors, including social rewards. A functional subdivisions according to types of social rewards need to await further experiments. Studies aggregated in “Other social rewards”: (Rilling et al., 2002; Moll et al., 2006; Izuma et al., 2008; Mobbs et al., 2009; Acevedo et al., 2012; Fareri et al., 2012; Korn et al., 2012). Studies clustered in “Observing others”: (Bartels and Zeki, 2000, 2004; Aron, 2005; Acevedo et al., 2012). Studies in “Learning about others”: (Delgado et al., 2005; King-Casas et al., 2005; Baumgartner et al., 2008; Burke et al., 2010; Phan et al., 2010; Xiang et al., 2012; Fouragnan et al., 2013). Studies in “Reward inequity”: (Moll et al., 2006; Fliessbach et al., 2007; Hsu et al., 2008; Tricomi et al., 2010).
